Fibre cable

[GKW]

I just received my fibre conversion kit which consists of one short fibre cable I’m assuming this will connect the new outlet to my router. My current outlet /socket is 3-4 meters away from my router and the cable is fixed along the skirting board. (Done by sky engineer). Will they supply a longer cable as I don’t want to move my router

@GKW  If you want t longer ethernet cable from the router to the ONT you will have to buy one, sky only supply the one length

[GKW]

What should I order. I'd like to have it before they install. Want to make sure I have the correct cable

@GKW Cat5E at a minimum, that will give you a gigabit connection, you can get cat 6 or 7 if you're future proofing, but for now it may be overkill.

Thank you. Very helpful

Cat6A is fine for any speed which the national optical network is ever likely to deliver.

Note that all ethernet is 8-strand copper: the optical connection ends at the ONT.
